I was filling out this bogus form, and planning to head to the Stapleton Post Office (so I wouldn’t be late) today, one day before their “deadline”. Then several things didn’t quite add up:

1. Never been required to do this before.
2. The exhorbitant fee.
3. Bold-print at bottom of form – i.e. “Not a bill or invoice…..this is a solicitation fo rthe order of goods of services, or both…..”, etc.
4. Return envelope stated: “T

Thanks for posting this information. I thought that the letter looked official and was ready to send a check but decided to Google this first.

I received the same notice and it looked very official but the fee seemed high in comparison to other Secretary of State annual fees. When I noted the address being South Broadway, not the Secretary of State’s office, I decided to do a Google on their name. Thanks for others who preceded me and called it as it is:A SCAM!!!!!!

THANKS GUYS!

I got my letter and thought it did not look right. I went to google and put in Colorado Corporate Compliance’s name and found this site. After reading what everyone had to say I got a chuckle out of Brain B and what his idea was. I might have to send a blank check stock from a closed bank account. Karma is a good thing!

Great little scam these folks are trying to pull. I have an idea for a way to cause them financial harm and have some fun at the same time.

If everybody that has any blank check stock for an old “closed” bank account we could, at the cost of a stamp, all send them bogus payments. They would deposit these bad checks and as each one bounces due to the “Account Closed” status, these fine folks would get dinged by their bank for perhaps $25 for each NSF deposit item. Maybe we can harm them with their own game.

To add further insult, if you put insufficient postage on the return envelope, the post office will hit them up for the shortage.

Go get’em!!!!

Thank god I looked this up before writing a check. I am a new office manager and almost spent $150 that the office can’t really afford at this time.

What I noticed as I started to fill out the paperwork is at the bottom in bold it says, “This is a solicitation for the order of goods or services, or both, and not a bill, invoice, or statement of account due.” It goes on and states ” this offer is not being made by an agency of the government.” If I had not read ever inch of this paper I would not have even noticed this.

However, everyone should watch out because I also recently received a letter like this at my home concerning my mortgage deed. Luckily I asked my realtor about that one and she informed me it was a scam.

Unfortunately I didn’t hear about this in time. It felt odd, but I wasn’t sure where I could check to find out if it was legit or not. Now I’m off to the bank to cancel that account and start over. Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of the form that I filled out and I don’t know how much info I gave them. Can anyone tell me here what account numbers or SS# they might have asked for? Thanks,
